NOTWITHSTANDING the alleged hard
times, it seems to be the universal YER
dict Of our merchants in Emporia that
the holiday trade has been not only
much better than had been anticipated,
but that it has far surpassed many, if
not all, previous seasons. This, under
the circumstances, speaks well for the
coming season, as it is almost posi-
tive proof that. at least in this portion
Of the state, either the crops were not
as bad as has been sometimes said, or
that the surplus from last season was
greater than reported. At all events,
our merchants have done an extremely
brisk holiday trade, and they certainly
have no reasons to complain.

public debt statement which led simply

Sixty thousand coal miners and rail
readers out on a strike in Pennsylva-
mia, and at this season of the year es-
pecially, means untold misery for thou
sands of wives and children, not TO
speak of the men themselves, And yet
this is the fiippant manner in which 30
grave a subject can be treated by one
of our exchanges:
1t is not altogether unreasonable to
believe that the men who have struck
on the Reading system are the dupes
of the coal barons. The scarcity OF
coal was just beginning TO disappear
and prices we're decreasing. Now an
thracite will again rival gold in value
and the willy barons will reveI in great
profits. The manner in which the coal
companies play of the consumers and
the miners against each other is a study
in finance.
OF course there are two sides to the
subject, and, of course, both claim to
be right. Nevertheless, the fact re-
mains that in the middle Of a merclless
winter thousands Of men have delibera-
tely given up their only means Of
livelihood, and, if compromise is not
effected, have a splendid show of
starvation foE themselves and faInil-
les.
The companies did not close down
work nor cut down rates of wages.
The only grievance complained Of by
the strikers was that the company had
employed five men, to handle freight,
who did not belong to the union. At
least, that Is the version given by the
dispatches.
SAnd because these Eve men, living
in what is called free country, would
not, did not, or could not, join secret
society, they are to be prohibited from
earning a livelihood, And in an at
tempt to enforce this ediet. probably
inaugurated by one of the workers who
only works his jaw, 90, 600 families have
to suffer, many of whom, no doubt,
preferred to remain at work, but were
compelled to join the strikers or be
branded as "scabs.''
1t seems to be a popularity of these
great strikes that they always take
place during winter and in the severest
weather. But, no matter when they
take place, they always entail an un-
told amount of misery, and it seems a
pity that calmer measures should not
obtain, and arbitration take the place
Of the Intellectual and horror-producing
strike.

FROM the Dayton, TO-, Journal W

FROM the Dayton, (O.,) Journal we
clip the following:
The New York Daily News Dem
made the following statement:
The duty paid to the government
by every one who wears an imported
goSsamer is 80 cents on every 81. In
case a gOSsamer made here is pur-
chased, 80 cents on every 81 is paid to
the American manufacturer. A rub
Der cloak or coat that now cost 81
would, If the duty were taken on, cost
$40"
A reporter was directed to inquire
into the truth of this statement, and
George F. Hodgman, president of the
Hodgman Rubber company, at 459
Broadway, made the following reply,
which will constitute the tariff talk to-
day: ut is true enough that there is
duty of 30 per cent on rubber garments,
in fact it is 80 per cent, but when the
editor of the News concludes from this
that the wearer of a rubber garment
pays the manufacturer royalty OF 30
cents on the dollar, he shows very con-
clusively that he does not know what
he is talking about. The rubber gar
ment that is sold for 81 can not be made
for IS cents in this country. England
can make cheaper rubber goods than
the United States, because here our
labor is so much better paid.
Take away the restrictive tariff and
she will send her rubber goods over
by the ship load, and drown the home
manufacturers out. This would result
in throwing about Is, 900 people out Of
employment and destroying some $685.
100000 of capital employed in manu-
featuring plants. A flourishing in
dustry would be ruined. England is
making no cheap goods at present, but
she would soon erect acres of factories,
once our tariff was taken off. And the
result would be unsatisfactory to the
buyers at large, for our goods are ad-
mittedly superior to the foreign goods.
And they are cheap, too, as wages
60 in this country. Every working
girl here has a gossamer. In England
a rubber cloak is unknown among the
working classes. They are unable to
buy them despite their cheapness be-
cause labor is so poorly paid. Estab-
lish free trade here and our working
girls would have to do without goSsa-
mers as soon as their present garment
was worn out, because, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they would be
cheaper, their means of purchasing
them would have been vastly less in
proportion.

Before her remains were sent to the
west, Colonel Robert G.. IngersoN de-
hyered the following beautiful and
eloquent tribute to her memory:
My Friends: Again we stand in the
shadow OF the great mystery-a shad-
oW as deep and dark as when the tears
OF the first mother fell upon the pallid
face of her lifeless babe-a mystery that

Of consolation. Another life of love is
now q blessed memory-a lingering
strain Of music. The loving daughter,
the pure and consecrated wife, the sim
cere friend, who with tender faithful
ness discharged the duties Of a life, has
reached her journeys end.
A Drawer, a more serene, more
chivalric spirit-clasping the loved and
by them clasped-never passed from
life to enrich the realm of death. No
/ field of war ever witnessed greater for
titude, more perfect, smiling courage
than this poor, weak and heapleSS

and death. Her life was gentle and
her death sublime. She loved the good

the chill of death; never part again
from those she loves. Her heart can
break 30 more. She has shed her last
tear and upon her stainless brow has
been set the wondrous seal of everlast-
ing peace.
When the angel of death-the masked
| and voiceless- enters the door of home,
there come with her all the daughters
| of compassion, and of these love and
hope remain forever.

home-to the home of her girlhoOd
and to the place that was once my
